Thread: 01 ssei check engine flashing while excellerating fast and blinker issue

Flashing means misfires.

I strongly advise you to never go WOT untill this issue is fixed.

Start with new plugs and wires. Ac delco Iridium plugs are the best for a stock motor.

Make sure the coils arent all nasty or cracked along the side.

See if that does anything.

What IC??

its not grounds, flashing means misfires, either needs a tune up bad, or the cat is clogged up. pretty much the only 2 things that will make the light flash.

He's refering to the turn signals on the ground(s) part.

the blinkers not working could be the drl module if the directional's are part of the drl lights, they were on my regal, ( right side quit working drl module fixed it.) i know its a bonnie. not sure if its the same.

or a bad bulb socket. i also had one of them go bad.

or the multi switch has crapped out.

What year bonnie. Take a look at my sig and let's get this fixed up.

First off.. flashing check engine light does not mean misfires. It means there is a possible catalyst damaging condition. Which is often misfires.

Super unleaded, you should not use anything but 91 or higher. Being in Mi, you can probably get 93 all day long. It's the only food for your car.
Tune up. At 77K miles and that the last charged Bonne was built in 2003, you likely need plugs, wires, air filter etc etc.
Bosch plugs, not your friends, they'll screw up faster than red MSD coil packs. Stay away from both of those.

Start there and let us know.

Also check your front motor mount. It's prone to fail in both 92-99 and 00-03 versions.
